Chapter 107: Murata Himeko's True Final Lesson; Mama Fu's Phone Scam

A vast expanse of white space.

Even the buildings of St. Freya Academy were all white.

The only two colors in the game were Himeko and Kiana.

This scene, filled with purity, accompanied by soft piano music, seemed incredibly dreamlike and warm.

"Eden, it's Himeko~"

Eden nodded lightly, "This seems to be... the last chapter, right?"

"Yes... huh? The game wants us to catch up with Himeko..." Elysia thought for a moment and handed the keyboard to Eden, "I remember Eden is a Himeko fan, right? Why don't you control it yourself?"

Eden didn't refuse and quickly took control of the in-game Kiana, chasing after Himeko in the distance.

At this moment, Himeko was slowly walking towards St. Freya Academy.

Eden was a bit worried that she wouldn't catch up... and then, this long-lost figure would disappear again.

Finally, Kiana caught up to Himeko.

At this moment, the game entered into an animated short.

Kiana's eyes contracted slightly, her voice filled with disbelief.

"Himeko... Teacher..."

And then... Himeko's incredibly warm smile.

"Long time no see, Kiana~"

As this scene appeared, the barrage exploded instantly.

["Teacher Himeko!! QAQ"]

["Ah, ah, ah... I'm going to cry!"]

["Himeko's smile... Wow~~"]

["Is this... a chance for resurrection?"]

["Wuwu~ I also want Teacher Himeko to come back, but... this is just Himeko's residual consciousness..."]

["Mi-Ho-Yo, you"]

Eden's heart tightened as she was fully immersed in the plot.

In the scene, Himeko looked gently at Kiana and softly said, "Did I... appear too suddenly?"

Kiana was choked up and couldn't speak, she could only shake her head vigorously, trying to control her emotions.

"That's good~"

"You've changed a lot."

Kiana finally managed to compose herself and said in a normal tone, "Teacher Himeko... you haven't changed at all."

"Is that so? Well, I'm pretty happy about that~"

The two fell silent for a long time, and Kiana finally asked the question she had already confirmed the answer to.

"This is just a remnant of consciousness, right...?" Her voice was heavy and hoarse.

In the scene, Himeko's expression was somewhat regretful, "Yes, it is, Kiana... But time doesn't flow here."

"However, we can still have conversations like this..."

"I'm sorry, I couldn't be by your side."

Seeing this, hearing Himeko's gentle voice, Eden couldn't hold back anymore.

She bit her lip, tears welled up in her eyes, and her trembling eyebrows tried to control the tears from falling.

Teacher Himeko was really too gentle...

And at this moment, Eden finally understood what the girls had said before...

This is sugar that will make you cry!

In the game, Himeko walked with Kiana into the pristine St. Freya Academy.

"Kiana, let's enjoy this timeless moment for a while~"

After Himeko's words fell, the pristine space changed once again.

"The scenery changed??"

The walls of St. Freya Academy were dyed with their rightful colors.

"I've been a teacher here for so many years, I remember every corner of St. Freya Academy very clearly~"

Himeko stretched lazily and looked around, sighing slightly, "I really miss this, the youthful campus~"

"Yeah, back then I always wanted to grow up quickly... but I never thought that growing up would be such a painful thing..."

"So if you could do it all over again, would your choices change?"

Kiana shook her head, "I don't think so... because then it wouldn't be me anymore, right?"

At this point, Kiana had regained her composure.

And after wiping away her tears, Eden also stabilized her emotions.

The subsequent plot was indeed very sugary.

Kiana and Himeko walked together in the campus.

Recalling past anecdotes.

Himeko's love for alcohol, Kiana skipping classes...

Everything seemed to return to the original school life.

And Kiana also told Himeko about everything that had happened in the world during this time.

In summary, it was all because of a nap, and the students had become the regulators.

There was even a 50,000-year-old student...

After the surprise, Himeko smiled and gave Kiana her final lesson.

Truly, the last lesson.

In Himeko's narration, Eden was surprised to find out that she knew about the disaster in 2010.

She also knew that her captain, Ragnar, died at the hands of the Skyward Herrscher.

Just when Kiana was nervous, Himeko touched Kiana's head and began to comfort her gently.

"Kiana, the Herrscher of Void always blames you for that disaster and its consequences, but that's not right."

"She can't see people's own choices, nor can she accept those beautiful glimmers of light."

"What I want to tell you next is..."

"These seeds of goodness, one day they will bloom into countless flowers." Seeing these words, Eden was extremely surprised.

Her surprise wasn't about how beautiful the sentence was.

But rather, this sentence was actually what Otto said to Ragnar!!

And Ragnar, in turn, told Himeko these words.

Someone like Otto, would actually say such words?!

Not only Eden was surprised, but the audience in the live stream room was also equally surprised.

They seemed to be getting to know Otto again.

In the game, Himeko's words continued.

"It was Captain Ragnar's first time encouraging me to turn this imperfect world into what you want."

"Kiana, I've read the mission report from that time." "[No one knows what happened during that disaster, but the out-of-control Herrscher was suppressed, and Siegfried, who was liberated from the judgment of Shamash, survived]"

"[It must have been someone present who made what she thought was the right choice]"

At this point, Himeko looked gently at Kiana.

"I think... the captain must have seen something in you that she wanted to protect, something... that I once saw too."

"The captain is like that, I am like that, everyone is like that..."

"We believe you can do it, save more people, make the world a better place."

"And you did it, Kiana." Himeko's smile was gratified and proud. "Everything you did in Arc City, everything you did in Tai Yu Xuan Mountain, and everything you're doing to deal with the Herrscher of Domination..."

"You've saved a lot of people, and these people will also go on to help more people."

"This is the legacy of humanity, the eternal flame!"

As Himeko's voice fell, the music in the game suddenly changed.

Various instruments played a melody full of hope.

Watching the millions of viewers in the live stream, they felt goosebumps all over their bodies.

Tears welled up.

Eden also trembled all over, covering her mouth, her vision blurred by hot tears.

This was the theme of this chapter... the legacy!

This is the legacy of humanity... the eternal flame!

This script... is really great.

With this hopeful symphony, it's really touching.

["Mi-Ho-Yo! My god! QAQ"]

["Who wrote this script? Quickly bring them out, I'll give them a bow!"]

["Is this really a game plot... even anime doesn't have this scale QAQ"]

["Set Tomorrow Ablaze's torch... finally understand, wow~~"]

["This is the theme song, why it's called 'Eternal Flame of the Hearth'..."]

["Now going to listen to 'Eternal Flame of the Hearth' again, I can only say Mi-Ho-Yo is awesome!"]

["The road that pain once concealed, but the flickering spark will eventually ignite"]

["This is the legacy of humanity, the eternal flame!"]

["This is the legacy of humanity, the eternal flame!"]

["Passing on the flame, virtue never dies~"]

The barrage almost covered the entire screen.

The entire Bilibili staff were nervous, afraid that the server would crash.

These staff members naturally kept an eye on Eden's live stream room.

They were also deeply shocked by the plot of "Honkai Impact 3rd".

A game, with such a good plot, made even those who don't play games shed tears.

If the system crashes now, they dare not think...

The viewers who are watching the live stream, I'm afraid they will come with bombs to blow up their hearts.

"Quick, close a few of the streamer's live stream rooms, divert, add more servers!"

....

Here, Eden, with tears in her eyes, continued to advance the plot.

Beside her, Elysia was unusually quiet, watching the plot very seriously.

Accompanied by the hopeful music, Himeko's gentle words also reached them, "I understand your nervousness, Kiana."

"The more everyone helps you, the more burdened you will feel."

"So you must remember, you've never been alone."

"Becoming a comrade-in-arms who defies entropy, Headmistress Theresa who always thinks of you, reliable class monitor Fu Hua..."

"Kiana... believe and rely on your comrades, because they also believe and rely on you!"

At this point in the plot, Kiana finally broke through all her confusion.

And what was left... was just the farewell with Teacher Himeko.

But before Kiana could speak, the space suddenly shook.

Kiana steadied herself and asked with some worry, "Outside... is it everyone?"

Himeko sighed, "It seems they are fighting with the Dominator, so now, the stagnant time here finally begins to flow..."

As Himeko's words fell, the game screen shifted to Bronya and Fu Hua's perspective.

They were currently trapped in a closed space and couldn't find Kiana.

After some discussion, they guessed the true identity of the Herrscher of Domination.

Under Bronya's calculations, she and Fu Hua finally broke through this closed space and found the unconscious Kiana.

But just as they were about to go save Kiana, rows of puppets blocked their way.

"What should we do, Monitor? We can't find another way for now."

"And now they have a direct connection with their hosts, so if we kill these puppets, their hosts in reality will also die..."

Such a situation was very tricky.

The hosts of these puppets were not Herrschers but living beings.

Therefore, Bronya and Fu Hua hesitated to kill them.

"It seems... there's no other choice..." Fu Hua pondered, "Bronya, let me sever their connection with the hosts."

"Sever the connection?" Bronya didn't understand what Fu Hua meant.

"Yes, I once severed the connection between Seele and the Will of the Honkai during the Second Collapse, the principle is similar."

"But... you no longer have Fenghuang Down."

Fu Hua nodded, "That's right, with my current power, I can't do it anymore. So, I must rely on the power of the Herrscher of Sentience."

"The Herrscher of Sentience... that's very dangerous!"

"I know, but I must try." Fu Hua closed her eyes and sank into her consciousness.

After a pause, Fu Hua tried to speak, "Listen to me, if you can hear..."

There was no response in the darkness.

"Kiana is in danger, I need your help."

After a long time, the voice of the Senti finally came.

She sounded exasperated, "Aiya... you old fogey, always bothering me all the time, aren't you tired?"

"First it was Kevin Jr., then a bunch of inexplicable wooden people, and now you're bothering me too?"

Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but show a wry smile.

For some reason, hearing the voice of the Sentience... made them want to laugh.

At the same time, they also discovered a key piece of information, that the Herrscher of Domination had also come to find from Senti.

But from the current situation, the Senti did not collaborate with those puppets.

She was still a minion of the Will of the Honkai.

In the game, Fu Hua pleaded, "Please, I really need your help."

"Huh? Do you think I don't know that using Herrscher abilities on these guys will drain my power?" 

"Are you planning to 'use a borrowed knife to kill someone', or 'kill two birds with one stone'?"

"Oh~ I see, you must be one of the wooden people now, right?"

"Sigh~ I guess so, your failed life is very easy to be defeated by them."

Fu Hua: ""

After a moment of silence, she sighed, "I didn't become one of them. They are now holding innocent lives hostage, I need your help."

"You say you haven't changed, but haven't you deceived me into handing over your power?"

"No, this is not handing over power. As long as we defeat them, the power will not be taken away, we will win~"

"Okay okay, for the sake of your future victory, applause! Humph~ what does it have to do with me?"

The Senti's tone was very cute when she said this.

Eden couldn't help but be amused.

In the game, Fu Hua continued to persuade, "Kiana needs you."

The Senti sneered, "Isn't she asking for her 'Class Monitor'?"

"I also need you."

The Senti: "..."

After a long silence, Fu Hua felt that the Senti showed a slight sign of wavering.

Thinking of this, Fu Hua continued to coax.

"I know, Kiana once denied you, but after spending that time together, you also understand she's not a bad person."

"She denied you as 'Fu Hua', not because she dislikes you, on the contrary, we all think you are an independent individual, a unique soul."

"You have your own thoughts, your own beliefs... you don't need to care who you are, because you can decide what you want to become."

"I've always wanted to tell you these words... Kiana, and me, all of us hope you can come back."

After saying these words, the Senti didn't respond.

The atmosphere fell into a long silence.

But Fu Hua could feel a slight change in the other party's attitude.

"Humph~ you seem to be a little better at chatting than other wooden people."

"But, after all, this is a mess you've made yourselves, whoever causes trouble should solve it themselves, if you have the ability..."

The Senti hadn't finished speaking, but at this point, there was no more time outside for Fu Hua to wait.

Although she felt a bit sorry, she still gritted her teeth and pulled the iron chain, taking the power away, "Sorry!"

Feeling the power being taken away, the Senti couldn't believe it, "Old timer! You—!"

Was she being deceived?

And watching this scene, Eden couldn't help but sigh.

The barrage was filled with joy.

Even Elysia showed a tinge of regret.

"Aiya~ it would have been fine to coax a bit more~ The Senti said those things, just hoping you could coax her a bit more."

"Seriously, though, the Senti is so cute, just like her bridge voice says, nobody can fool her... Haha..."
